Last Monday we had our Meisner presentations. I felt my scene went very well. The teacher did though point out that I knocked over my shirt and tie which was hanging on a lamp when I entered the scene, and that I should have picked it up, which I failed to do. I had performed a scene from the play Tea & Sympathy. I don’t mind the minor issue of knocking over the shirt and tie. During a test run in front of the teachers private class, I managed to confuse myself and call my scene partner who plays my wife in the scene my “husband.” This led to the students in his class to laugh, and though it was funny, it was a bit embarrassing. The line I messed up was supposed to read “You were more interested in mothering that fairy up there than in being my wife.”
I have completed two books over the weekend, An Actor Prepares, and Animal Farm. I also read a play titled Agnes of God. I’m still making my way through the Bible. I am on Second Kings, page 526 out of approximately 2000 pages in the NIV Study Bible I am reading. I am expecting to finish a book on the history of Dutch Manhattan that a friend had given me by the end of the week. It is a very interesting history book, titled The Island at the Centre of the World, by Ronald Gross.
We also filmed a scene from 200 Cigarettes last Tuesday. I ended up eating six yogurts for the scene, something I do not recommend. I found myself going to Subway after the filming concluded to have a tuna fish sandwich. I need to replace the taste of yogurt with something else.
